tea press

Steeping mesh cylinder

A tea press is a device for steeping loose tea leaves, similar to a French press used for coffee.

Hot water is poured over the leaves in a cylindrical container, then a mesh plunger is pressed down to separate the brewed tea from the leaves: I prefer a tea press to tea bags for loose-leaf varieties.
